There are 5 types of Speech Styles: Intimate, Casual, Consultative, Formal and Frozen.

Intimate - This style is used when you are close to the person and you know them very well because you
communicate in a daily basis. This style of communication happens when two individuals are close to each other
like if they are couple, family, and best friends.

Example:

Best friends, President Duterte and Senator Dela Rosa discussing what time should the press conference
start.

Casual - The receiver is usually a member of the same subculture you have, same age bracket because of the
establishment of the common way of speaking, words and phrase, as well as non verbal communication. Casual
Speech Style can be classified into 3, slang, jargons and contractions.

Example:

A high schooler sees his classmate early in the morning, he says, “hey, dude! Wazzup yo? Where are ‘ya
goin’?”

Consultative - Used when we talk to strangers or when we don’t know the person that well. The speaker uses
professional or mutually accepted language and the listener participates and gives feedback. A classic example of
Consultative Speech Style is asking directions.

Examples:

Erik disclosing his problems to the guidance counselor. He is asking what can he do to solve it.

Jasmine’s parents went to school to see their adviser and to ask about her performance in the class.

Frozen Speech Style - is also called fixed speech because the language does not change in time. The retention of
language or speeches in religious services or plays are good example of Frozen Speech Style.

Formal - It does not encourage feedback and it also doesn’t have considerable social significance. The main
function of this style is to impart information. Among the Speech Styles, formal speech does not call for a response
from the receiver or other communicators.
